end try to reinstall grub from the menu.
If that doesn't work do a "chroot /target"
check if /boot/grub/device.map contains the line above, and if not
readd the line. (without /target)
then run grub-install from within the chroot
I installed sarge-based Debian-edu on one of those fro Guadec, but I
had to return the nice box afterwards.
